SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has sent a get-well note to Cuba's Fidel Castro, who has undergone stomach surgery, the North's KCNA news agency said on Thursday.

Castro, who has lead Cuba for 47 years and is the world's longest-ruling head of government, has not been seen in public since temporarily relinquishing power to his brother this week.

"I sincerely wish you a speedy recovery to your health so that you can excellently continue to carry out the Cuban revolution and the great mandate given to you by the people of Cuba," Kim said in a telegram to Castro dated Aug. 2, KCNA said.

Kim, known as the "Dear Leader" at home, has ruled the North since the 1994 death of his father and the founder of the communist state, Kim Il-sung.

North Korea's official media often writes articles expressing solidarity with the Castro government.

All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.

Ok whatever you conspiracy theorists! If they were such bad guys why haven't they been assasinated yet?

I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire
